We identify and solve deep-rooted social problems.

Through our funds we bring together the right people and organisations to design rigorous and innovative solutions to some of Scotlandâ€™s most deeply-entrenched social problems. We work in the communities that are most affected by poverty and disadvantage and build strong partnerships, with government and businesses, that bring about change.

We help each organisation to develop individually by fostering collaboration across a portfolio of charities and a network of experts. We create the right environment for lasting, sustainable partnerships.

We raise and manage funds, and support charities to leverage more. We study, research, evaluate, learn and share our knowledge, helping our portfolio to prove their successes and become more effective.

Our highly-experienced staff work closely with each organisation, tailoring support to their unique circumstances. We know that where one charity needs help with their Board, another needs help with risk management. We help organisations to develop local and national relationships which cut across and through sectors, helping the right people work together to solve problems.

We want to make Scotland a better place. Each thematic fund, each organisation, network, and every person within it works towards that goal. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.
